      Oh. So, “the majority of reading” was arguably digital.

      Cool.

          How are you judging that?

              Yes, you’re agreeing with me.

                So you agree that the majority of people read on computers before 1999. Therefore Kurzweil’s 1999 prediction wasn’t what you claim it to mean.

                Either he foresaw the future of smartphones, tablets and ebooks but was off by 5 years or he was an idiot who didn’t know what was happening in the 1990’s. In your ignorance you have argued that Kurzweil is an idiot.

                Your reply will be “incorrect” because you have no ability to write a logical response.

                  No, I don’t agree with that.

                  You’re still making assumptions and pretending other people have answered you to change the actual conclusions of this investigation.

                  Kurzweil was right in a lot of his predictions, you are not.

                    Again you are evading evaluating the prediction.

                    In 1999, Kurzweil predicted everyone would be using computers with no mechanical parts by 2009.

                    Did that prediction come true?
